  • Two Quickies

    1) Can I publish an add on domain before I publish my main website? The main one is taking longer than the smaller site I have completed.

    2) How do I add parked domains to an add on domain? Everytime I go to CP it brings up my main site.

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Yes you can, just publish to the folder of the addon domain.. i.e public_html/foldername

    2) How do I add parked domains to an add on domain? Everytime I go to CP it brings up my main site.

    Your CP WILL automatically go to your main account when you open it. You can't have a seperate CP for each domain. What exactly are you wanting to do? You just add each domain as an add on then you can redirect them to your main account domain if you so wish. This is called Parking a domain.

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Hope that helps Sandy.
    Don't aim for success if you want it; just do what you love and believe in, and it will come naturally.

      I have www.mysite.com (my CP account) with several parked domains on it. I also have another www.bestsite.com. I want to park some domains on it as well. Guess I can just park them on mysite then re-direct them to bestsite?

      Makes sense!

        Hi Sandy:

        When you purchase a domain name, it is considered parked until you actually add it on to your voda hosting account and publish pages to it for a website. Parking a domain is a way of securing a domain name for future use. The domain is registered and is parked on the server where you purchased this domain until you are ready to make this domain active - i.e., publishing pages to this domain, making a website.

        Your voda hosting account is opened with a Main Domain which all pages you create are published to public_html (the directory or folder for this domain).

        When you purchase other domain names, until you add them on to your voda hosting account (giving them their name servers) they are considered parked. If you purchased this add on domain through Voda Host, it will be parked until you log into vbs and point the domain to voda servers.

        If you are not ready to publish to your main domain at present, I suggest just publishing a blank page, named, saved and published as index saying Coming Soon.

        When you go into control panel, you will see a file folder called public_html - this is the directory for you main account. When you add on a domain, you will then find a folder (directory) within the public_html for this domain ..

        Publish your main domain to public_html
        Publish any pages to your ADDON DOMAINS to public_html/addondomainname

        In order for you to ADD ON a domain, you need to point this domain to your voda hosting servers (found in your log in information). If you add on this domain in your voda hosting account, it will NOT be a Parked Domain - it will be an active domain waiting for you to publish your pages.

        Keep in mind, every domain needs to be published in the same way other than where it gets published to. For instance, every domain name needs the main landing page of its url to be named, saved and published as index.

        I hope this clears things up for you ...

          Yes it does. Thanks for taking the time for such a lengthy response.

          I have all (well, almost all) of my domains pointed at my BV host;

          I have created Public_html/addondomain for the ones I am going to publish to;

          I have parked additional domain names under my main domain name www.mywebsite.com and pointed them to my main domain name; IE: www.mywebsites.com www.websitesmine.com so that no matter how someone types it into a search, it will come to my main page. At least, that is the way I uderstood it!

          Thanks Again

            Excellent ... good news for you ...

            but ... let's call it all your domains are pointed to Voda Servers (Blue Voda being the software program that you create your website in, and Voda Host being the Hosting Company .. :)


            Great Job.
